Back To School Healthy Eating Tips Featured

31 Aug
The school year is starting off for millions of kids around the country, which for parents means after school activities, PTA meetings and perhaps one the most dreaded school realities - lunches.
 
To make the school year a little healthier (and perhaps fun), HealthTap - the leading mobile app connecting parents with licensed doctors 24/7 for quick answers to health questions and more - has some advice from a few of their over 15,000 vetted and U.S. licensed doctors on breakfast, lunch, and food to fuel kids to success this school year.
 
1.  Many Americans eat one or two times daily. Eating small meals all day keeps metabolism running smoothly, lowering the risk of obesity.  Start your day with a relaxed breakfast, chewing slowly and enjoying the meal.
 
2. Homemade lunches aren't necessarily healthier than pre-made or school lunches.  Packing a healthy lunch at home may take some practice, but keeping it balanced and fun are the keys.  The variety will keep kids interested and interactive foods like dips, crackers with meat, or cheesy string will keep it fun.
 
3.  An after school snack fits into the several small meals a day motto.  It can also be a great time to bond with kids and make a healthy snack like mixing their own granola or choosing the toppings for some fresh air-popped popcorn.
